It would be even easier if one could use a 10MHz IF for LF. For this the K3 and KX3 (when the code is written) xverter settings could be set to XVRF=0MHz XVIF=10MHz. This way the accurate 10MHz reference, already applied to the reference input to the K3 could be used as the local oscillator in the external transverter

We'd have to provide an access code to allowing opening it up for experimental purposes. But even if we did allow transmit, I'm not sure receive sensitivity would be adequate for your purposes. Wouldn't a simple external transceive converter be a better approach? You could use 7 MHz an an I.F., for example, then use one of the KX3's transverter bands to show the actual operating frequency in kHz.
